Then and now

Yesterday was our nine year "dating" anniversary and tomorrow is our -1 wedding anniversary ... you know, a year to go until the wedding! When we finally get married June 28, 2008, we'll have been together for 10 years. We've been trying to come up with ways to tie the whole 10 year/decade thing into the wedding, but maybe the fact that our wedding is taking place almost 10 years from our first date in 1998 is enough. I'm open to ideas.

We're celebrating with our annual camping trip on the St. Croix River with friends. I also got T a few 99-cent ties from Savers during my trip to collect more "shabby chic" dessert plates for the reception.

A quick note about my dress: it finally arrived and I tried it on yesterday at the bridal shop. I hated it. Luckily, I can start over and use the money I put down on that dress toward another at the same shop. I have an appointment Monday.

Here's the dress I WON'T be wearing.
